Gardening Islington Cookie Policy
Welcome to the Gardening Islington cookie policy. This statement explains how Gardening in Islington uses cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality, measure performance, and provide relevant marketing. It sets out what cookies we place, why they are used and how you can exercise control over them. This policy applies to anyone interacting with content or services provided by the Islington gardening team and is intended to be clear and concise.
We use different types of cookies to make your experience reliable and useful. The main categories of cookies employed by Islington gardening are:
- Essential cookies — required for security, session management and basic site functions.
- Analytics cookies — used for performance monitoring, traffic analysis and improvement of features.
- Marketing cookies — used to personalise content and ads across platforms.
Essential cookies are strictly necessary to enable core features such as secure access to resources, remembering your cookie preferences and preventing fraud. They do not track your activity for advertising purposes and are typically retained for short durations unless session-level persistence is required for functionality.
Analytics and Performance Monitoring
Analytics or performance cookies help the team behind Gardening Islington understand how people interact with pages and which content is most useful. These cookies collect anonymous information such as page visits, time on page, load times, and error reports to help us optimise performance. The primary purpose of performance monitoring is to improve speed, reliability and the overall user experience.
When we talk about performance monitoring for Islington garden resources, we mean measuring site responsiveness, tracking slow-loading pages, and identifying resource bottlenecks. Analytics cookies do not store personally identifying information by default; instead they aggregate usage patterns to spot trends and make technical adjustments, such as caching strategies or image optimization.
Marketing cookies are designed to deliver relevant content and promotional messaging. They may be set by third-party advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show relevant adverts on other sites. These cookies can be persistent and may be used across sessions. You can opt out of targeted advertising through cookie settings or via industry opt-out mechanisms where available.
User Control and Managing Cookies
You have several options to manage cookies used by Islington gardener services. Most modern browsers allow you to accept or reject cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for individual sites. In addition, you can use browser extensions or privacy tools to block trackers. Remember that blocking certain cookies may limit functionality or degrade the experience.
We recommend reviewing your browser settings and clearing cookies periodically if you wish to minimise stored information. For analytics specifically, you can opt out of analytics tracking where third-party providers support an opt-out mechanism. Adjusting settings will influence how well we can monitor and improve performance, such as diagnosing slow response times or identifying heavy resource pages.
The Gardening Islington policy may be updated to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. We strive to keep descriptions transparent and easy to understand. Please check this policy periodically for updates so you remain informed about the use of cookies, the purposes they serve — including performance monitoring — and how you can control them across Gardening Islington services.
